You do not need to get in shape first
The most common reason beginners put off a trainer is the feeling that they should get fit before they show up. It works the other way round. The first weeks with a coach are where you learn the movements, find your starting weights and build the habit. Arriving out of shape is not a problem to fix beforehand. It is the starting point the program is written for.
You also do not need to know anything. Not the names of the lifts, not what a set is, not how the machines work. That is the coach's job.
What your first sessions look like
- The free assessment. Thirty minutes, in person. We test the basics, find what is limiting you, and give you an honest answer on what your goal will take.
- Learning the big movements. Squat, hinge, push, pull, carry. Light, slow and coached rep by rep until they feel natural.
- Finding your weights. Every set is logged in the coaching app, so the next session starts from real numbers, not guesses.
- Building the week. Two to five coached sessions, with 24/7 access to the private floor if you want to add walks on the treadmill or extra practice.
What a beginner should look for in a trainer
- Patience with technique. A good coach would rather fix your squat for two months than load a broken pattern.
- A program written for you, not the same circuit everyone else gets.
- No pressure to buy a package up front before you have trained a single session.
- Somebody who notices when you miss a week, and helps you not miss two.
What it costs to start
We do not publish prices. Coaching is all-inclusive, with the gym membership, 24/7 access, nutrition coaching and the app included, and the price depends on whether you train 2 to 5 times a week. You get a straight answer at the free assessment, with no pressure to sign up. For context on what other formats charge, see the Fort Lauderdale cost guide.
